Our Community

The municipalities of Halton Hills, Milton, Oakville, Mississauga (excluding Malton) and South Etobicoke (part of the City of Toronto) make up the Mississauga Halton LHIN geography. The Mississauga Halton LHIN is home to over 1.2 million residents, and continues to be one of the fastest growing LHINs in the province, with the population growing by approximately 20,000 people annually. Over 97 per cent of the population is either within a large urban or medium population centre.

The aging of the population will continue to be a major theme in the Mississauga Halton LHIN in the coming years,as the percentage of people aged 75 and older will grow by approximately 55 per cent over the next 10 years. By way of comparison, Ontario’s population aged 75 and older is projected to grow by approximately 40 per cent during the same time period.

The Mississauga Halton LHIN has a much larger percentage of immigrants than Ontario overall, with 44.3% of the population identifying as an immigrant, compared to 28.5 per cent for Ontario. Visible minorities also make up a much larger percentage of the Mississauga Halton LHIN population compared to Ontario (40.7% vs. 25.9%).

The Mississauga Halton LHIN has a relatively small Aboriginal population, with just over 6,000 Aboriginal people, as reported in the 2011 National Household Survey (Statistics Canada).
